KEO (Kuroshio Extension Observatory)

The Kuroshio Extension Observatory (KEO) mooring carries a suite of meteorological sensors to measure winds, air temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, and solar and longwave radiation. With measurements of sea surface temperature and these surface meteorological measurements, the net air-sea heat, moisture and momentum fluxes can be computed. Surface and subsurface instrumentation includes temperature and salinity at 1 m to 500 m. Daily-averaged data are available in near-realtime.
